Owner of national newspaper says, Why didn't they listen to me?

As owner of a large national newspaper, I would just like to say that I'm in a state of some confusion as to why or how so many people didn't listen to me on the subject of the leadership of the Labour Party. Quite apart from the message it sent to great people like Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson, it's almost as if all those people were putting two fingers up to me.
